Matt Murdock is in prison, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历🍷史查询:Elektra has taken over the mantle of Daredevil. But Murdock is still Daredevil, allowed to wear his mask even while behind bars. What's going on? With a new issue, , on-sale now, t♐here's a lot going on - so we asked series wrꦉiter Chip Zdarsky all about it.

Daredevil #26 has two intertwined stories - one following Matt/Daredevil in prison, and the other with Elektra/Daredevil fighting off Knull's alien army taking over New York City. Series artist Marco Checchetto and guest artist Mike Hawthorne spoke about drawing those dual stories earlier thi🐻s week, and with the issue now on stands Chip has weighed in about the issue and the bigger picture for M♒arvel's Daredevil title moving forward.

Newsarama: Chip, bringing in Elektra as the new Daredevil and protector of Hell's Kitchen is another wrinkle in the themes your run has explored about Matt Murdock's identity, and what it means to be Daredevil. How does Elektra's time in the role play into that idea?

Zdarsky: Like most things, this has been planned out for a long time. When I started writing 🤪Elektra into the book it was with an ultimate story goal for a future arc and the DD mantle lined up really well with it and her development as a character. 

I don't want to say how long it's going t✨o last! But I have definite outcomes for al♓l our characters.

Marco and I are pretty over the moon with the respons✨e ♛to her so far!

Nrama: How will Matt Murdock react when he discovers what Elektra is up to?

Zdarsky: Oh I'm sure it'll be fine.

Nrama: Elektra's first big outing as Daredevil is in this week's Daredevil #26, putting her against Knull's forces as they take over New York City. Since the issue's still fresh on stands, we don't want to spoil it just yet - but how's she handling that?

Zdarsky: She's up against the end of the world, right out of the gate. She thought being Daredevil would just be her fighting standard criminals and mob bosses, but a sky raining symbiote dragons shows her that sometimes Dar🍎edevil has to deal wit🔯h the weird #@$% too. People need saving and it's her time to shine.

Nrama: For these issues, Mike Hawthorne has come in to draw portions of the run alongside Marco. What's it been like bringing him into the creative team?

Zdarsky: Oh man, Mike is amazing. His book Happiness Will Follow is a stunning, gorgeous achievement, and having hi🌠m use those talents with us has been a treat. His Wilson Fisk is extremely menacing! And yet still sexy?

Nrama: On that note, what's going on with Matt in prison during 'King in Black' while Elektra is protecting Hell's Kitchen?

Zdarsky: Well, he's getting used to his new incarcerated life. Serving a sentence was, ultimately, his choice, but the reality 🙈of it is going to hit him pretty hard. Among other things.

Nrama: Not quite like the Prison Funnies book from early in your career.

Elektra's time as Daredevil kicked off with an ominous prophecy that to eventually destroy the Hand, either she or Daredevil will have to kill the other. What's coming as Elektra's tenure as Daredevil continues?

Zdarsky: Elektr🥀a has goals, and becoming Daredevil is a path toward those goals. But this is her operating in the open, and that tends to draw out enemies. She's going to learn some har💙d truths really soon.
